LIVING LIFE SERIES 1

A BO TIEN (武天) MISSION INITIATIVE LAUNCHED ON 28TH SEPT 2010 BY INNER TRUTH NETIZEN 2. THE MISSION IS TO SHOW THE WAY TO HOPE, INNER PEACE AND ULTIMATELY SALVATION FOR ALL BEINGS. THE PURPOSE IS TO SAVE SOULS. IT IS WAY BEYOND NORMAL GOOD WORK LIKE CHARITY AND WELFARE ACTIVITIES. NO ONE SHALL BE SAVED BY GOOD WORKS ALONE BUT BY MORE THAN GOOD WORK. THERE IS NEED TO BE IMBUED WITH THE BASIC DOCTRINE COMMON TO AND BEHIND ALL RELIGIONS AND SECTS. LIVE IN DOCTRINE. DOCTRINE IN LIFE IS PARAMOUNT.

.

The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affiliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. Needless to say that all the saints we know are in this temple. Ji Gong Posat too is no exception. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven. We worship God and saints, not man however good that man may be. There should be no hero worshiping or idolizing of man whether he is a charismatic pastor, priest, monk, medium or lay leader. We don't even idol worship the image of any saint but reflect on what the image stands for. - the doctrine in the image. Omitofo 阿弥陀佛!.

The Word is His Image. His Image is the Word

No 840 of Living Life Series 1

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨)

It is in front of this image that the good lord Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) descended to give his many anniversary messages in the first phase of the mission.

It is in front of this image that he said that "The Doctrine is his image and in his image is the Doctrine."

He who knows the Doctrine knows and sees him. He who does not know the Doctrine sees not him even if the good lord is in front of him.

The near may be far and the far may be near.

Man is like the candle flame. If sheltered by the saints, it will grow and glow. Those who seek in earnest, the saints do know and will come to bless them.

Issues will end up as no issues. Even big issues will at least become small issues even if they cannot be no issue. There is however the element of fate. But the man with Doctrine will have peace come what may.

A collection of candle flames is better at shining the way for not only one another but for others. It is good to help one another. Men of different capabilities and resources can be blessings to one another to complement the blessings of Heaven.

All these the good lord tells us time and time again.

He also adds that balance of yin and yang is important for inner peace. His feet on two elements reflect this. Storms do not last forever and calm will return.

In a temple, the strongest of good men may be blown away in a storm even if they hold on to a big tree. But when the storm abates, good men will return.

A temple is like a flower. Ants and insects come to the flower for nectar. Blame not the flower for insects coming to it.

Even if some come to a temple to do good for personal good and gain, they may still get some good and blessings even if they do not cultivate spirituality and higher good beyond self good. They are still welcome.

His scepter is the instrument of his mission. He is the messenger of God to show the oneness of religions.

All religions are there to save souls. They have the same basic inner truth and teaches men in their own respective ways to have inner peace. The ultimate peace leads to enlightenment - harmony with God and all heavenly saints.

Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨) urges us to be better at what we already are by knowing this inner truth of life.

We also can learn from the teachings of the sages of all religions and be better at the religion we are in and better at what we are. We don't even need to belong to any and we can believe what we want to believe so long as we can move on and arrive.

Lest you forget

Do not make the mistake of idolizing any man who tells you about the Word. He is in the same boat as you even if religion refers to him as a religious leader. Mere mention of a religious leader is as good as encouraging idolising of that man. Why must there be hierarchy in religion? Hierarchy is conventional but may end up as liability rather than a necessity or asset. There should be no caste or hierarchy system in religion. No one is to be considered above another in religion. A religious leader or follower is a servant to serve you and not a leader to be idolised. Do not put him on the pedestal and make a monster out of him.

MAY ALL BE WELL AND HAPPY

May all be well and happy. May they have peace. May our departed friends and kins be well, happy and have divine peace. The main writer wishes the best for all for those near and far. Our kins may be far when they had passed on to better lives but they are near though far. He remembers and wishes his parents Mr Siow Soo Koh and Mdm Tay Hung Siang, his uncles and aunties like Mr Tay Koon Huay, his cousins like Mr Tay Chong Sim and his friends like Mr Philip Png well and have abundance of life. May they be rich in spirit for without such ancestors, there will be no posterity - no us and no you and me. They have blessed us and we must blessed them in return forever and ever.
